Replacement Mounting Hardware for SportRack and Thule Cargo Boxes - SR04952

Average Customer Rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars   (116 Customer Reviews)

Replaces the mounting hardware for SportRack Horizon, Expedition, and Aero model cargo boxes, as well as Thule Excursion, Frontier, Mountaineer, or Traveler cargo boxes.

This kit was very easy to use and accommodate our rooftop cargo carrier. I did have to drill separate holes; however, the stickers provided to cover up old holes worked surprisingly well. We purchased our cargo carrier used and it did not have any make/model information on it. Worked great on the stock rooftop cross bars of a 2018 4Runner.

The only reason this did not get a 5-star rating was the slight difficulty in installing this the first time. It may have been user error, but even making this a 2-person job, it can be difficult getting the hardware to align correctly while reaching across the rooftop. Your mileage may vary, but if you have an SUV and you’re not tall, it may cause some issues with lining up the hardware under the cargo carrier.

Great product and would still purchase again.



by:

these replaced my old rusty, falling apart brackets. OF course, this set up isn't as good as the newer, more user friendly brackets but my cargo box is old. I have no complaints about etrailer. In fact, I think this was the only place. I could find what I needed,



by:

Original u bolts that came with the sportRack just didn't fit my oem vw crossbars. This product is exactly the same but with a little more space. Works well around the town and a road trip this summer will test it on a long trip.

Plenty of long road trips, works very well no complaints.



by:

A little pricey but worth it. Item shipped quickly, tracking great, fitted my Thule Frontier well. Could have benefitted with a video on how to install rather than just a video on parts sent.

2015 Jeep Patriot Latitude
I bought
a used Sears X Cargo Carrier at a local thrift shop. It was in very good condition. But the latches were broke off and it had strap mounts only. The Replacement Latch for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box Item # 03347. Was an exact OEM replace match. X Sears Carriers were made by Thule. Install was simple and took about 5 min. The cross bar mounting kit was was again very easy to install. I have 52" CargoLoc cross bars. The length of the bolts left about 1.25" of threads. Hand tightening was all that was needed to lock the carrier firmly to the Jeep. I drove it out on the interstate at 70MPH. There was no handling issues with cross wind or at speed. The pics show the mounting hardware and the latches. Jeep owners this is an excellent system to expand cargo space.



by:

Really happy I've found this kit. I've been able to salvage my cargo boxe with it. Thank you!



by:

Product worked just as desribed. I installed a late model Sears X-Cargo unit on our 2015 Chevy Traverse LT. The initial package arrived with a broken knob, but etrailer immediately shipped a replacement knob at no charge....a great way to stand behind their products and something I appreciate! I took a picture of the unit, but already removed after our trip. Thanks etrailer!



by:

Mounting hardware fits my roof box perfectly, thanks!



by:

I was given a car roof carrier but the hardware needed was missing so lucky for me and that etrailer had the exact original replacement parts. Wish their shipping was as quick as that other online site but regardless the wait I’m very satisfied with this purchase at a fair price and highly recommend etrailer for all your needs when it comes to towing or other related needs for your car.



by:

The product was exactly as described. Shipping was extremely fast, and the item was securely packaged eliminating any possibility of damage to the item during its transit. All steps throughout the entire purchase process went very smoothly, and customer service was superb! An all around pleasant purchasing experience!!!



by:

Perfect fit. The detailed product descriptions made it easy to buy the right replacement parts.



by:

Product was fine, but if you have a plastic ski rack inside this largest size Thule Box, the bolts need to be a little longer to accommodate the rack base pieces, as they do not account for that. The rack was never that sturdy anyways and often fell over inside the box and we ended up just putting an old blanket down first and laying the skis and other stuff on that, which also absorbed any meltoff/water from the skis. So when I used this kit I just removed the rack base pieces and this kit worked fine. I feel much more confident without old rusty bolts holding this huge rack on the roof of the Suburban in case of a hard stop.

great!



by:

worth the price . everything needed is there and you will surely have spares left . great kit



by:

Not the right parts, even asked for help
Was missing pieces/ didnt fit for what i needed but is a good temporary solution for my classic box from 1997



by:

Easy transaction and product arrived complete! Now I can rehabilitate my Thule! Thank you!!

Unfortunately this product was unable to successfully mount a SportRack Vista XL onto my stock 2011 Nissan Xterra crossbars. The problem with the product is two fold, first the stock crossbars must mount a Vista Xl at their widest point which is where a thick plastic mounts it to the vertical bars making the distance between the pre drilled holes to far. Secondly even if you attempt to force it through there is not enough thread remaining to screw it on. Ultimately I had to drilled 4 sets of new holes approximately 4 inches towards the interior from the vista xl pre drilled hole. Using this substitute mounting set I was able to just barely screw it on to make it stay. I will definitely be going out to buy some longer bolts to ensure it won’t fly off mid drive.

Due to the very large diameter crossbars, mounting anything to the factory roof rack of the Nissan xTerra can be a challenge.



by:

I have an old school grey and white Sears x-cargo roof cargo box. These mounts worked perfectly. Even though they are not listed for this box, they still worked great. I traveled almost 3000 miles with them and didn't have any problems.

awesome, we have used the cargo box 6 times since we purchased the mounts and they are working out great. easy to attach and take off too.



by:

Good on-line ordering experience, arrived within 7 days as expected, all pieces were in the package. Just what we needed. Hardware that came with the new larger SportRack that we ordered would not fit our cross bars, these work great.

Still working great. Thank you for asking.



by:

Easy ordering and matched what I needed.



by:

Good quality materials. About the only thing I had to rig was rubber pads for the top and bottom clamps. Don't buy the mfr kit, this after market kit works fine. Thank you etrailer.

Still holding up fine.

Worked perfectly with my ancient Thule rooftop carrier, and my wife's Grand Caravan. Our road trips are taken with 3 kids , 2 dogs, and my wife and I. She tends to overpack, so having the carrier securely mounted to the factory bars is a huge help for managing the space in the vehicle.
Super easy to install, and the the quick mount/unmount are a blessing as well.
Simple but great. Thanks!



by:

perfect fit, same as the original hardware that was on my Thule box. More importantly to me the folks at E Trailer made sure I had it in hand before a trip so I could use the box.



by:

I think these are great parts



by:

very excited to find these pieces!!! Sears does not sell them anymore and did not want to have to buy a new Cargo box . You saved the day.



by:

Product is worked exactly as expected. I have had the roof box installed on my car for a year now and other than ensuring that the bolts are tight every few months there have been no issues.

On customer service, I originally received the product with a hole in the bag and a few missing parts. After contacting a sales agent a new set of parts was sent out with no questions asked.

Will use etrailer again and would recommend.
